About us

The organisation was founded and in action since 1972, we have taken over the line 1989.

After the death of the deserving founder and organizer, Karl Stadler in the year 2010, from 2011, we took over the further organization of the international Dostal operetta competition with significant support of the city of Korneuburg, which continues to the goal has set to honor the entire work of the last, great Austrian master of operetta, Professor Nico Dostal (1895-1981) with this competition.

Mr. Stadler had 1974 the luck with Mrs. Lillie Claus Dostal (1905-2000) an invaluable mentor to inspire this competition.

Her son, the conductor Roman Dostal (1943-2014) and after his death his long-life partner, Mrs. Margareta Wörndl, made the competition possible in the first place by the public offer of the first three prizes and supported him from the beginning with these prize money.

Mrs. Margareta Wörndl, has agreed to make the prize money available for the Jubilee Competition 2015, 2016 and 2018 privately, and for this,she deserves our utmost respect and appreciation !
